I need a new interconnect between my Dynavector P75 phono stage and Nait 5i-2. The P75 is RCA out only and the Nait 5i-2 can accept 5 pin Din or RCA's as imputs.

Are there any advantages in going the 2RCA to 5 Pin Din route or would the 2RCA to 2RCA interconnects offer the same performance?

I guess another way of putting it, is does the 2RCA output from my phono stage negate the usual advantages of a Din to Din connection?

Thanks
Chris

I did have a look at the FAQ's but that only appears to cover RCA to RCA and DIN to DIN. The RCA to DIN scenario doesn't appear to be mentioned, or did I miss something?

Thanks
Chris

Usual consensus is Din sounds better. A Chord Chrysalis Phono - Din will fit in nicely!

Although, I connect my Project Debut via phono to AV source on my 5i and it sounds as nice Cool

Get an RCA to DIN Hi-Line; works great in my system.

When I used a P75 with 282 and then 252 I found Chord Chrysalis RCA-Din preferable to RCA-RCA. It's a subtle thing, but definitely noticeable over time.

I happily used a Chord Chrysalis RCA-DIN between my DVP75 and 82.

After a while I decided to upgrade in the usual course of things, and apart from the Chrysalis, I wasn't really happy with anything else until a HiLine RCA-DIN Roll Eyes

It is worth keeping your eye out for a s/h Chrysalis. Its replacement, the Crimson, is not the same thing at all (specifically intended for digital sources, a bit slow with vinyl). The next best thing to the Chrysalis, IMO, is the Naim i/c in RCA-DIN configuration.

Happy listening.

Thanks everyone,

I landed up going for a 2RCA to Din Cobra 3. It seemed to have more energy and space in the upper frequencies than the 2RCA to 2RCA version.

It was a subtle difference and came down to preference rather than one being better than the other.

Cheers
Chris
